We examine the hypothesis that some supernova remnants (SNRs) may be responsible for some unidentified y-ray sources detected by EGRET instrument aboard the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. If this is the case, y-rays are produced via pion production and decay from direct inelastic collisions of a...
